A Cup With Heart:
The Aprocanorsi cooperative brings together 159 small producers (29 of which are women) and is rooted in a strong emphasis on social and environmentally responsible principles.
This coffee is grown at altitudes greater than 1,400 meters above sea level which classifies it as a "Hard Bean" or HB. The higher altitudes and lower temperatures produce a slower maturing fruit and a harder, less porous, yummier good bean.
